Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us.

I'm your host, Mandy Sleutzer. Let's get to it.

Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. Apologies in advance for the sound of my voice.

Seasonal allergies are kicking my butt. Well, I'm excited for this week's podcast because we finally

he quit the show, because he's not on the after show. The other thing I'm interested in is

knowing whether or not Molly and Shep actually ever got together. Was this a just for the show

was so odd was Taylor's text to Austin. I wonder how much that kind of stuff actually happens pretty

regularly, where, you know, a friend of yours and you're on this reality show, you know,
